Brush Up for Viking: Battle for Asgard

Viking: Battle for Asgard hit store shelves last week; GameTap asked the game's art director, Alistair Hope, to share some of the inspirations behind the game:

"The Viking world is such a unique and rich universe that is both real and fantastical--it was a goldmine of reference and inspiration. It allowed us to take the myths of gods and heroes and push out in exciting directions, taking advantage of artistic license while staying true to the larger than life spirit of the Viking universe. Throughout development we drew upon a wide range of sources, some obvious, and some more unusual!"
